Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the wilderness. He fasted for forty days and
forty nights, after which he was very hungry, and the tempter came and said to him,
“If you are the Son of God, turn these stones into loaves.” But Jesus replied with
God’s word saying, “Scripture says: ‘Man does not live on bread alone but on every
word that comes from the mouth of God.’” The tempter then took him to the
top of the Temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down;
for scripture says: ‘He will put you in his angels’ charge and they will come
to save you.’” Jesus said to him, “Scripture also says: ‘You must not put
the Lord your God to the test.’” Next, the tempter showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their splendour. “I will give you all these,”
he said, “if you fall at my feet and worship me.” Then Jesus replied,
“Be off, Satan! For scripture says: ‘You must worship the Lord your
God, and serve him alone.’” Then the tempter left him, and angels
appeared and looked after Jesus.
